I have been meaning to blog about this fabulous giveaway I won recently, and had the photos set up in the post, but forgot to come along and add text!
A month or so ago, Artisan Whimsy, a fun, informative forum had it's grand opening and there was all kinds of stuff happening. I was totally surprised when I got a note saying that I had won a huge giveaway...$150 in merchandise credit from the totally sweet and gracious Melinda Orr! Man, did I have a hard time choosing, I was like a kid in a candy store...or a jewelry designer in a tool store!
When I opened my box, I decided to document....

| Ooh, what can it be!!! |
 |
| The main things I was going for...tools! New wrap and tap pliers, hole punch in a size I didn't have....love that small size ball pein, a riveting hammer and a cool texturing one! |
 |
| Other stuff I wanted to try included the Vintaj patinas! |
I told Melinda to surprise me with a bunch of copper blanks and what ever she wanted with the rest, and boy did she! Lots of very cool items, including the fun, colorful cording and a braided leather piece. Thanks, Melinda! I've played with all the tools, but haven't had a chance to do much else! I am looking forward to creating with everything you sent!
If you haven't checked out Artisan Whimsy, you definitely should...loads of information, tutorials, eye candy, beady chat, and more! Happy Monday!!
Wow, it's like Christmas early!! You are one luck lady!!!!
